"I believe that the work of RECOFTC is of greater importance now than any time in its 20 year history. Governments of the region face enormous new challenges as they seek to develop forest conservation and management regimes that simultaneously reduce emissions from forest loss and degradation, contribute to national economic development, and meet the needs and aspirations of forest-dependent people. The people who live and work in communities in and near forests can be the most effective allies in these efforts."

Nos últimos 150 anos, a temperatura média global aumentou em cerca de 0,7°C. Esse aumento está sendo atribuído à intensificação do efeito-estufa pelas atividades antrópicas, como queima de combustíveis fósseis e florestas tropicais, que emitem CO2 - um dos gases de efeito-estufa, porém não o mais importante – e teriam elevado sua concentração de 280 ppmv para 380 ppmv
